Demartek Offers Hadoop Clustering

17 December 2014

Demartek is excited to announce its investment in a new eight-node cluster of servers this month. We are
starting with eight Intel Xeon E5 v3 (“Grantley/Haswell-EP”) platforms with 3.5GHz processors, 10GbE network
connectivity to each node, and 48TB of local disk capacity across the cluster. Each server node has several
PCIe 3.0 I/O slots that can accommodate a variety of adapters including x8 and x16 lane adapters. We will
grow this cluster as needed in the future.

This eight-node cluster will be used for Hadoop testing and other distributed computing and storage testing
platforms. This set of servers can also be combined with our other servers to drive very heavy storage
and networking enterprise workload tests. These servers are already busy running some very interesting
test projects.
